>>36041399>Grass and dragon are the only two type other than water that resist water>ice is super effective against both of them>nearly all water type are able to learn ice moveWouldn't surprise me somebody at Game Freak has water as his favorite type and just wanted ice created to make water better.
>>36041410Remove water resistance to ice. Maybe not a grass resistance because grass is already shit offensively but yes a fairy resistance would be cool and maybe a dragon one.
Also why is Game Freak so scared to buff ice. They probably know there is a problem because they introduced Freeze-Dry to make ice pokemon able to deal with water type, and Aurora veil to mitigate the fact that ice had a lot of weaknesses. But they always pussy out: freeze dry is only 70 bp so in most case it will be worst than ice beam and running both make you lose one move slot and aurora veil needing hail make it useless except for Alola ninetales.
